an archipelago; -- to her side, the pelagic
backward I don't want to say backward
but deepdown pelagic, do you feel me?
I'm rough like dry skin in the winter
a tiny camera flows through the blood
to find a splinter. Puss forms. Eventually,
I guess, the thing moves on, or it doesn't.

the uterus, let's face it -- how i started --
how'd you get here? --a research told me
(not at a luncheon, but with some pretext
of a delicious meal in the near future, let's
face it) how do we get here? is a question
nobody can answer. but, human, for once,
not even for once, that wasn't in question,

I'd like to know.

I promised
Ooh, I'm floating, goes every beginning,
you've got to wash your face, Amanda said
she couldn't get to sleep without it. Well, evidently,
you know, you know, this would be better in conversation:
evidently I can.
Baby sleep with me, is a suggestion. I don't even mean
it sexually, not necessarily, not fundamentally. Necessarily
sexually is a proverb, that's how you think of us, isn't it,
it's not your fault; I hate ellipses.
You know, my mind is a falcon, a harpie eagle, just
discovered for the first time in Belize. Belize me,
I'm not lying. I wouldn't make up things about
endangered species. Point being -- sharp, here,
for once a rainbow that's just a rainbow, of
course it's not complete, it's just raining, prisms,
-- maybe consider it. Think of how much
we could learn about each other. I'll breathe,
like a man, decoding prison sentences with
each breath. Later we'll wonder about capital
punishment and how this fits in. Later still I'll
make you promise not get angry when your tears
excite me. I'll promise not to make a pun
about how each sentence is a sentence
enmeshed in words, forever hidden
inside this gray box or cyclid, we'll never know.
Baby language is inside us, then it comes out,
thoughts is white and pale, Shakespeare told us
maybe not to force things. Thought is pale, cold,
foreboding -- he of all people knew the incalculable
distance between "I could" and "I did" or even
this is a sword
this is a word. (not wordplay)
the difference between "to being," which isn't
infinitive, and "to walk." One's a goal, honey,
that other's magic. Don't make similes often but
it's like the scrape of a wing on a petal, and I
have to admit: I
have to admit nothing. Blank space.

I name it first
A) Then I write it. If I didn't, why be frightened? Where my eels at?
B) This is my new daily cross to bear. Hey there, Monsieur Bear. It must be hard to be so ursine
(Ursine that's your sign. Ursine that's our sign.
Our bear, up there. Sequester your smellables.)
C)
miasma
of her cigarette
no top on
coquettish
childlike, a foxstar
voice like software
Hello? Where?
I'd like to tell you, Rita.
D) I know where I myself am. Can't say the same
for the boxwear. You know, the stuff you buy in the box and wear?
Oh hell, not hare, I mean, not hear again. I hear my waves becoming oceans becoming words spilling out again. A sixth grade girls poetry. And pretty good for what it is: "My hand spills out the ink from my soul..." etc.
E) The point is I'm going to force myself to do this once a day even if it's really bad (ooh, self-reflection, judgment, not like a judge's judgment (they aren't PEOPLE like we are, they send people to prison, I don't send people to prison, and if I could, I probably wouldn't... I don't want to!)), do I really care what you think? Are we kin? There's that word again. An ancient one, kin. We probably aren't but I probably feel like we could be, or have the same approach to each other, the same feeling in our hearts meaning our throats for each other, I'd kill for you, friend, I'd be killed for you, That's what Mailer meant when he said there was a sniff of murder in real love, the kind you don't want to call love because you know... love and all. Nothing is what it is anymore. I don't have a teddy bear. I miss everyone, all the time. I find happiness, I don't know much about anything.
But must importantly,
I'm not string
and never knit.

1) Mrs. Ottey's attempts to foist further tripe upon me were futile.
My adamance was rewarded
...with nourishing ox-tail soup and dumplings.
[[ Should be ignored:
2) Which is perhaps much to say
to play on the field, to lat [lay] there
to splay Um, Here, Um,
we are who we've been waiting for.
Dumb bitten lunches of thoughts. ]]
3) On my way to PathMark I saw lots of things, notably trash collected in crenelated dumptrails on the ground; strewn about cleverly, almost ironically; completely without merit were all these observations. Passed the Rutgers "projects" to my left that line the East River. ("Projects" is a loaded term... I felt safe. Unnecessary self-reflection: My beard makes me look pretty though, though.) Thought I had gone the wrong direction. Kept going. Was rewarded. PathMark. A huge real supermarket. I will go there again. I bought water purified (by reverse osmosis OR distillation) because I don't want to drink POISON. Specifically fluoride. Fuck fluoride. Fuck it in the face. I got milk, cheese, some disgusting "cheddar flavor rice crisps" and "FRS: healthy energy," which contains quercetin. What I really wanted was Red Bull because I was feeling drowsy after two beers and it's been adeptly marketed to me as something that will "wake you up."
On the way home my eyes revisited a tree by a housing project. It has a large blanket of some kind in it that looked like a person. Smaller constellations of other plastic bags and remnants like ornaments. Made me think of this story about the kids who slept in Central Park.
When I got home I drank a little of the FRS energy drink. Eh... not good. Not terrible, maybe, but not good. It smells like what your urine would smell like if you ate and drank apple pulp for a day. This is an educated guess. As usual, then, my shopping trip wasn't with errors. But I have to mistakes to learn. It's the only way I operate. How do you operate?

Endorphins
Where we lay
in hollows of flesh or door --
collect tea leaves before a stroll
in the park to find acorns --
this is how (organically, for once)
we have seemed to felt --
notice, in other words, the words
themselves -- they aren't practiced --
they have rhythm, fairly -- they aren't
escaping anything. In Indiana I played
Abe Lincoln, beard and all
shortly before being fired. How does
a man deal with shame? He hides it,
does not discuss it. It's a closed
locked door. This is a law. And I'm
a law-breaker. Not as a child, though --
always followed the rules like, ...whoa
now, maybe we're getting somewhere.
Just as you might say we are leaving
somewhere. The tents rolled up --
she's still wet -- she'll dry off tomorrow
or the next day in the driveway.
What I meant was there are rules
and rules of law -- binding and bound,
dead and alive, milieu. This isn't helpful
to expound.
Dead and alive, just like everything --
one hand, is a serif -- a letter -- a door post.
On the other -- ILLINI. Our nation's sweetest
despotic team, trading blows for bows for
hope for shame for victory... something
becoming lame. As you know, edited --
this could really be something. Moving on.
You have to, sometimes. Move that is.
From that to this is
now, this is where I put my mouth, this is
how I used my words. Already becoming
the past but even better than the explanation --
they are the explanation and the story itself.
This really is working. --
I've always joked about horseflesh. Never
eaten it, (as far I know) never want to.
I've used glue, never eaten it
as far as I want to remember. Like a puff piece
this tail is curled and then uncurled, curled then
uncurled -- David Foster Wallace would say
"Up, Simba!" as the camera man said in his
overlong piece about McCain when McCain
still seemed to be a real person. Champaign
Illinois' finest writer, at least so far. I'm coming
at you, Foster. Coming with you, Wallace.
Please give me this gift, David. You already --
you already have.

Apache
Four o' clock in the afternoonI haven't eaten all day.
Guess I'll grab my knife, see if I can kill a boar.
Realistically, it's tubers and berries.
Too bad I lost my backpack,
and was subsequently marooned on this island
three or four or thirty weeks ago
my sense of time is fucked.
There's nothing but knives here
knives and forks, I'm dreaming of eating
pork chops with chopsticks
popcorn, trail mix.
A savage shot me with a bow and arrow
yesterday, morning or something.
She must have thought I was a boar though,
cause she fled at the sight of me
Can't remember where I was going
with this or when I was struck
with the realization that this native
was the most gorgeous woman I'd ever seen

I'm fresh as watercress
I'm thankful for family
thankful for strippers
pajamas, slippers.
big tits and little dippers.
cabinets of wicker
apples with stickers

Farmin carrots and radishes
ravagin cabbages

Ben & Jerry

cats taking ice cream from mice
Rats! I'm losing focus-

Geronimo was an eskimo

igloos are mad chill
Cold, even. Hypothermic fever.
Coffee, tea, coffee, too

I actually like fennel
Trapezoids are flaked like tomorrow.
Birds fly between bushes for safety.
An ant knows much better than us
how much to expect from a crumb.
Everything is potent: just depends on
how hot is your flame. (;) Licorice.
Or anise. One of those herbs whose
scent I don't care for. Why mix it?
If I want horehound I want horehound,
not some basil cultivar, or coriander.

Tyco & The Sexuals
I'm missing that bone in my body
that one that says, stop? when we do
not want to. Or the one that says
here we go, like a lamb begging forgiveness.
Of course I've been down the road.
Of course I've gagged deliverance.

quite wholesome, still, math w/o

sexual encounter and wondering whether
Alpha Phi was "her dish"; Smokestacks

of the industry that wrought it all--someone
must thumb the eye of the Luddites;

Air-Heart. I bet my lungs on the stock
market. They sold for more than I imagined,
which is pretty high, because my lungs

without them I get nowhere
inhaling air, something we call oxygen,
which is really just whatever makes you
live, life istelf, a literal ubiquitous
shround of life, so disguised, is dis-

about football (just another proxy for
war, of course) and Sarah Palin. We
get it, women are sexual.

Land
This the land of sacred parts,
the range of the smooth grains
in other words:
great sand in these parts.
On which the great rain falls
green train farms, America is limbic
& bank alarms, calls from here to there
to establish the veracity of the crime
the crime the crime.
The soul, the wine.
Watch time unwind--so trite--but seriously
I have a ball of twine called TIME &
daily I unwind it. One side of the room,
other side of the room. Its width is
how much time we have left. Its length
is how pregnant are these next thoughts:
the thoughts lent to one another,
conversation, is mental pollination.
I leave the room silent like poison gas
or a mathematically perfect ass
(although Seife is right that there's no
formula thereof) -- This sentence's
beginning was unexpectedly dark.
Sometimes our convo turns that way, Rachel,
these are real names of people I've consulted
with in real life, in dreams, in imagination.
My friend told me she saw Imaginarium of Dr.
Parnassus. I said did you know that was Heath
Ledger's last movie? She said yes. Then said,
"He is so sexy." I said, “You mean, he was.”

Not one for my right hand man. Fingerfood can be so fickle.
I chose the right side of the bed - wrong again
faced against a wall, faced with it all
dreaming of dreaming
conceiving an inception - is that possible?
perceiving deception in a mystical sense but
not able to do anything about it
with the exception of staying awake, I suppose
the only part of me asleep is my arm
and maybe my leg.
Hope the trapezoids aren't flaked tomorrow.

Daring criticism of plastic and support of sloppy metaphor
Monsoon wrote:
"...in the sea with the planktonic swimmers
among the flagellum and jellyfish nerve nets
is an anti-bone death camp called PLASTIC INC.
reaping quarterly profits by the boatload,
the trashbag, the discarded packaging, bottles,
cartons, wrappers, decals, coatings and trimmings
and covering of all synthetic varietals
blooming detritus plastic unborn
and born again in a most unnatural soup
soup of the lakefish
steermeat of steermeat (registered trademark)
plastic of the dumpfish degraded, dead."
Months later, the media found this in their dredging of all portals interweb, and used to is show how Monsoon was an anti-plastic, anti-corporate loon. Forever lionized in the effete wooden salons of elitist scions like Georgetown. Forever vilified in the hard-working, God-fearing hubs of American paradise like Lowell, Mass. and Canton, Ohio.

I'm a Snowy Owl
Birds can't broadcast, so we growl
and hoot about days past
perching on a porch, porching on perch
my biggest vice versa is candles.
Averse to vices like pudding pie
such as: protons and negatrons
or Megatron - Calvin Johnson
his name is Yon Yonson
he's from Detroit, Wisconsin
he was a lumberjack
now he's just black
face it, that's racist.
Fuck it, erase it

Birds Are Texting Each Other
Exactly at this moment
birds are texting each other.
They've mastered our technology;
They're just waiting to take over.
Waiting for the opportune moment.
This has been going on throughout human history.
Why do you think we killed the passenger pigeons?
You think they were so plentiful they blotted out the sun, and then, one day, just like that, they were gone?
Ha ha, you. You probably believe in continental drift or "software."
(In this symphony inspired by Superman
which I'm listening to
there are whistles.
They are strangely appealing.)
The worst are the red-winged. I dare not utter their full name.
Birds called them the "black hope."
They are first in line to begin the attack and enslavement of humans.
That's how's come [sic] we had to kill a bunch of 'em in Arkansas the other day.
You think it's a coincidence that Arkansas lost to Ohio State a couple days later? In football? C'mon. Don't tell me you believe everything you hear over the radio. You think birds can't broadcast? What do you think their plumage is for? Why do they fly around all willy-nilly? You think they don't have PLANS for us, after all? Don't you realize they CAN FLY??? CAN YOU FLY??? How hollow are your bones? You think osteoporosis is a disease? WAKE UP, America. Your country is being stolen from you and replaced by a flighty menace: bird-people.
If birds can't broadcast I'm a snowy owl.
It's strangely appealing in this dark hollowed out tree
and I think I'll sleep, since it's daytime... in Hawaii.

Intertopz ridiculous "stake-back" offer
Preamble:
"With all due respect to the Niners and the Cardinals, this is the sort of game we want to see on Monday night! The Jets and the Patriots get it on at Gillette Stadium in what is arguably the biggest game of the season so far and Intertops.com celebrates this battle of the 9-2 teams with a stake-back offer for all its customers."
Stake-back (!!!):
"We will refund all losing wagers on our “Exact Number of Points scored in the 1st Quarter” bet offer if a field goal attempt is unsuccessful in the first quarter!"
That's right, folks. If you guess the wrong amount of points scored AND a field goal is missed, you get your money back! Who wouldn't hop on a this train to tinsel-town? One would think a stake-back offer would at least TRY to lure in bettors, but then again they are all about this bad.

A post entitled "Norway" but should be called "China"
One time I went to Norway. I could tell you this. This is something that's possible. Like moroseness is an emotion, or people have lunch.
One time I went to Norway. I could honestly tell you this, but I'd be lying. Deep in my heart I am a terrible coward, and nobody will ever really love me. I've been to Norway. I have went there, okay? I didn't.
I am an unrecognizable sea-species dying in a Chinatown fish store. Why do Chinese people (They exist, O.K.?) like slimy flotsam from the insipid sea? Living living livid, I tell you. Dirt would be too clean a smell. FISHY is too poor a way to describe a putrid potpie of fish innards grossing.
[NOW I SHIFT GEARS]
Oil from the fires of yesteryear paintings of the everglade. Beneath the mention is
the lynchpin to freedom--free doom. Doom for one and all;
after glade and the misery up cometh
down the grotto to the blade
with her mystery, & so forth.
Yes, I believe in Red and Blue (&white)
stripes the halls the decks of glory.
Why can't I write like I want to? Like
A canvas is white at first I hate when people say they're blank.
They're only blank if white canvas surface a surface is not white white
not a surface not white not a surface.
Can you see what I'm saying? Words
written into a machine appearing
on a screen--Meaning Can you see
what I'm saying? Pent valves of
spry cigarettes these Chinese smoke
every goddam alleyway, every shopcorner
every moment is a cigarette waiting to be drawled
dolled about longing children fawning talking
don't know what they are saying.
They cannot spell like me.

I just chill with my AP stylebook and light up
snakes on my shoulders, bitches thighs up,
fire in the corner, this shit is going down,
man is on fire like Jason has Argonauts

Conversation (in French)
"Do I make too much social commentary?"
I asked her, fully expecting a "no".
In fact, she leaned across the table and unleashed:
"Well, on our first date you said you weren't going to ask me any questions, because you thought that q&a was the lowest form of conversation. And then on our second date, you walked across the street when the light was red, because you 'don't need baby pictures to tell you when to cross'. And how you always say that people just conform to norms without a second thought to what's best for them. So in that sense, yes, you do make too much social commentary."
"What kind of questions should I ask you?" I replied, with a wan smile.
"Not that one" she deadpanned. "And you're too sarcastic, while I'm at it. How about you ask me: how was your day?"
"Can't you just tell me how your day is? Why do I need to ask you about it? I figure, if there's something interesting, you'll tell me. If you didn't that would be weird."
"You've never asked about my family."
"Sure, I have. Your brother, whatshisname, he's in school. And your dad's a culinary artist, your mom is retired, and your cat Fredo has been dying for the last 2 years"
"None of that is right!"
"Oh. Ok, Well, I'll ask you more questions. Here's one: when's our anniversary?"
"You can't be serious. I thought you planned this dinner for a reason? Tonight is our 10-year anniversary!"
"Yes of course, I was just kidding. I'll stop being sarcastic as of now."
I asked her, fully expecting a "no".
In fact, she leaned across the table and unleashed:
"Well, on our first date you said you weren't going to ask me any questions, because you thought that q&a was the lowest form of conversation. And then on our second date, you walked across the street when the light was red, because you 'don't need baby pictures to tell you when to cross'. And how you always say that people just conform to norms without a second thought to what's best for them. So in that sense, yes, you do make too much social commentary."
"What kind of questions should I ask you?" I replied, with a wan smile.
"Not that one" she deadpanned. "And you're too sarcastic, while I'm at it. How about you ask me: how was your day?"
"Can't you just tell me how your day is? Why do I need to ask you about it? I figure, if there's something interesting, you'll tell me. If you didn't that would be weird."
"You've never asked about my family."
"Sure, I have. Your brother, whatshisname, he's in school. And your dad's a culinary artist, your mom is retired, and your cat Fredo has been dying for the last 2 years"
"None of that is right!"
"Oh. Ok, Well, I'll ask you more questions. Here's one: when's our anniversary?"
"You can't be serious. I thought you planned this dinner for a reason? Tonight is our 10-year anniversary!"
"Yes of course, I was just kidding. I'll stop being sarcastic as of now."

"If I wrote my life story on a piece of toilet paper, it wouldn't amount to shit," Antonio said, staring off into space.
"No shit, Burqaman." That was Felipe, always hanging around to throw the cauldron on. Like a witch with a hot temper but less restraint. More hate.
Felipe with his felts hats on, always asking, blunt ashing on. Burnt ham to my Burnham charm.

EXTRA STOVEPIPE !!!
All I really need
are extra pipestoves.
And gloss for the girl,
her lips that is.
Also some striped bass
for the stream yonder,
come spring. While
we're on this topic,
though, nails would be nice,
for the saplings
I intend on fashioning
into a new hamper.

Professors love having middle age students!!!
If you ask most college professors about middle age college students, they can tell you a lot of reasons why they love having them in their class!
Such as:
--They take shits!!!
--They may have had babies!
--They might know how to bake!!!
--Some of them are French spies (exclusively female)!
--Some of them are huge opinionated bitches thanks to hours in a menial position all day, with passive-aggressive tendencies to boot!!! (Not you, Cheryl!!!)
--They are hard-working!
--They take Lipitor but Pfizer doesn't see that money because their patent protection ran out!!!
--Their favorite Shakespeare might be Taming of the Shrew!!!
--Professors love a great debate with their students--it keeps them from getting bored!!!
--I'm getting bored!!! You're so meta!
--They actually show up to class!!!!!!!
